Care and storage of the camera lens
Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft
cloth in the following instances:
– when there are fingerprints on the lens
surface.
– in hot or humid locations.
– when the lens is exposed to salty air such as
at the seaside.
Store the lens in a well-ventilated location
subject to little dirt or dust.
To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as
described above. It is recommended that you
operate your camcorder about once a month to
keep it in optimum state for a long time.
To charge the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date,
time, and other settings even when the
POWER switch is set to OFF (CHG).
The pre-installed rechargeable battery
is always charged while you are using
your camcorder but it will get discharged
gradually if you do not use your camcorder.
The rechargeable battery will be fully
discharged in about 2 months if you do
not use your camcorder at all. However,
even if the pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder
operation will not be affected as long as
you are not recording the date.
Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
using the AC Adaptor supplied with your
camcorder, and leave your camcorder with
the POWER switch turned off for more
than 24 hours.
On handling the casing
If the casing is soiled, clean the camcorder body
with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water,
and then wipe the casing with a dry soft cloth.
Avoid the following to prevent the finish from
being damaged.
– Using chemicals such as thinner, benzine,
alcohol, chemical cloths, repellent and
insecticide.
– Handling with above substances on your
hands.
– Leaving the casing in contact with rubber or
vinyl objects for a long period of time.
On the pickup lens
• Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover.
Keep the disc cover closed except when
inserting and removing the disc, to keep dust
out.
• When the camcorder does not work because the
pickup lens is dirty, clean it with a blower (not
supplied). Do not touch the pickup lens directly
during cleaning because this may cause the
camcorder to malfunction.
